Hi Barry,
Thanks for the comments. Hope my post wasn't misleading - I was not singling out Hip Joints or trying to imply that they are in any way unethical. The people who have responded to this thread have made excellent points.The more I get involved in the audio community, the more I am able to meet the people who are actually designing and marketing some products. Since I am a pretty handy person, it doesn't take long before my brain starts trying to figure out how they work, why they work, and of course, that leads to DIY. So I think my post spoke a lot to these personal experiences. I would not want to discourage people from diligently working on R&D for these products. However, a good simple concept is not exactly theft - especially if I tweak and improve it a bit with my own ideas.
Yes, got the designs for Hip Joints earlier this year. Spoke with a local machinist to have them made up - got decent prices, and for a time, considered doing a group buy here on AA. It seemed like a logistical nightmare, so I cooled on the idea. Right now I am pursuing non-metal isolation ideas - rubber, plastic, etc. I will most likely have some Hip Joints made up some day, but not just yet.
Sorry the group buy didn't work out, even if i wasn't planning on participating. Its nice to see the community try to work together for the common good!
